The Falling Star

The night sky strecthed endlessly above, a canvas of glittering stars. Elliot adjusted his telescope, muttering to himself as he sketched the constellation Lyra into his notebook. "This one's bright tonight," he noted, circling one of the stars with his pencil. A soft breeze rustled the leaves outside his small observatory- a refurbished shed in his backyard. Elliot sighed, leaning back in his chair. "If only life was exciting like the stars,"he murmured. His days were a monotonous cycle of work, small talk, and quiet eveings alone. The stars were his escape- a world so far away it felt untouched by the mundanity of life on Earth. Suddenly a streak of light tore thourght the sky, illuminating the darkness with a brilliance that made Elliot gasp. He jumped up, knocking over his chair. "What the-" he began, rushing to the window. The light brighter than any meteor he'd ever seen, arced across the sky and disappeared into th nearby forest with a deafening crash. The ground trembled beneath his feet, rattling the telescope. His heart raced. "That was no meteor," he muttered. Grabbing his flashlight, he bolted out the door and into the night. when he reached to the forest. A cater smoldered in the earth, glowing faintly with an unearthly silver light. At its center lay a figure. "Hello?" Elliot called out hesitanly, stepping closer. The figure stirred sitting up slowly. it was a man--- no, not quite a man. His skin shimmered faintly, as thought it were reflecting the light of the stars, and his eyes glowed a soft slivery hue. Elliot knelt at the edge of the crater, his heart pounding."can you understand me?" The being tilted his head, studing Elliot and captured Elliot lips in a fervent kiss that ignited a spark between them. Their mouths moved in perfect harmony, a dance of passion. In a bold gesture, the figer gently took a hold of Elliot tongue and pulled it out of Elliot mouth and licked Elliots tongue. and then taking his tongue and put is in hins mouth then slowly put is in Elliots mouth as they continued to kiss. As the figure depends the kiss feather. And pulled back to see a small sring of saliva. Then Ellot staggered back, breathless. His mind was clearer than it had ever been. Then the figure spoke "Hi, am Vega of Lyra," he siad, his voice now comprehensible. Elliot touched his lip, still tingling the strange kiss. "What are you donig here? Why did you fall?" Vegas gaze darkened. "The stars... there are broken. I was pulled from the heavens through a rift. If i cannot return before the moon completes its cycle, I will case to exist so that means i have 24 hours and it starts tomorrow." "okay." said Elliot, swallowing hard. "I dont know how were going to do it and get you back up in space but I'll help you." vegas lips curved into the faintest smile. "Then perhaps i have a chance."
